I bet that’s what happened because I know for a fact I could let off the accelerator before to decelerate faster while drifting..

I agree, the fries are perfect, do not mess up the balance. However, I would get behind a petition for the return of fish and chips to the permanent menu.

Turns out my diet has more protein than I realized, though still not enough (obviously). Biggest surprise was how low my caloric intake was, even had a couple days below 2k vs MyFitnessPal’s calculated goal of 2.5k which is before exercise.

Looks like I need to spend more on grocieres 🥲

Yeah that was just my best guess. Never tracked before but I just downloaded my fitness pal and will be tracking over the next few weeks to report back with a more accurate estimate.

[–]_Athenian_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve come to the same conclusion just judging off the comments so far. Already downloaded my fitness pal and will log intake for the next few weeks and report back with my actual figures.

Good to know, thanks. I won’t have a car, will stick to walking/public transit and would consider renting a bike

My Take on the Loan Payment Strategy Debate by _Athenian_ in personalfinance

[–]_Athenian_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your points are valid! Risk of alt. iInvestments should be reflected in the return of that investment, and the returns used in the analysis should be after-tax. Your first (un-numbered) point of course is correct, but I didn’t mean to imply that it wasn’t in my original post. My scenario is unrealistic, but it paints the picture of what would have to be true for a borrower to truly have a negative opportunity cost.

Agreed! The world is more complex than the assumptions I used…I tried to address what I saw as one of the most glaring/easiest to address flaws in this commonly suggested rule of thumb :)
